[SOLVED]7.0.0rc1: PCM doesn't work anymore?

[straubm]

PCM fails for all plugins listed as the links given seem to be wrong.

Example (holds true for each plugin in the PCM):
‘https://github.com/openscopeproject/InteractiveHtmlBom/releases/download/v2.5.0/…’
does not exist. The problem is the …/download/…
Editing the URL and removing that works.

Can you confirm?

[qu1ck]

Works fine for me. Url you copied is cut off, that’s why it does not exist, not because of /download/

What error are you getting?

[straubm]

@qu1ck

that’s why it does not exist

No,I just shortened it here

Just an example:

[qu1ck]

That’s some kind of network issue. Is your internet connection through some kind of proxy maybe? Or maybe you have a firewall that needs to add kicad.exe to exceptions?

In a pinch you can always just open the url in your browser and download the file, then install in pcm from file.

[straubm]

No proxy. And I didn’t change anything in my system. It’s just strange.

@qu1ck

you can always just open the url in your browser

Sure, but that’s no the way to go, or is it?

BTW, this one works:

Yes, I’m just saying if you need a plugin NOW, there’s a workaround.

If a plugin hosted on gitlab works then maybe your local github CDN has temporary issues.

@qu1ck

maybe your local github CDN has temporary issues

Sort of…, that’s what I came to think, too.

Thanks for your effort, however. Let’s put it to rest for now.

Ok. If you like to disclose: are you in Europe? 'Cause Belgium and Austria did not work.

[straubm]

Just for fun I installed 6.0.2 → works.
Reinstalled 6.0.10 → fails.
7.0.0rc1 → fails.

Not sure the evidence supports the broken CDN therory, but anyways. Back to manual installations.

There is another discussion about the issue and @marekr solved it there. Thanks.

Plugin manager: issue downloading plugins

I’m not able to download plugins all of sudden. This is one that has issue (also the other ones show the same issue) Here below my result and underneath it, the screenshot form the developer that tested the download. To him: it works. hence: this is something that comes from my way (I think) but I don’t know why.
